are due simply to the three effects
which this great medicine has upon
those who take it:
First. 1t puriiies the blood.
Second. 1t strengthens the system.
Third. 1t gives healthy action to the
digestive organs.
With these three effects no disease

in Ely's Cream Balm than in anything

preparation has for years past beer
making brilliant success as remedy
for cold in the head, catarrh and hay

he was seriously afflicted with a severe
